Role description
We are seeking to establish a pool of Special Needs Education Assistants for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
At Serpentine Primary School (PS) we acknowledge our history and tradition and seek to balance this with a focus into the future, embracing innovation, current educational research, and teaching and learning practices. Our commitment is to ensure that children attending Serpentine PS are treated to all benefits that a rural school has to offer while still receiving the highest quality education. The belief that all children can be high achievers and that every child matters every day is fundamental to our approach.

We also have an experienced and supportive student services team, led by our learning support coordinator, to enhance our commitment to ensure the specific learning needs of children are met and to aid in the development of safe and supportive learning environments for all students.
